John Williams concert in Liverpool

[Omen II 1,298]

Someone (it may have been Quint?) was lamenting the paucity of John Williams concerts in England's Northwest in John Williams's 80th birthday year. Well, I post because I care!

The dependable Richard Kaufman conducts the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra on 6th October 2012 at the Philharmonic Hall. There is also a shorter, family concert for the little'uns earlier the same afternoon.

Bring it!

Are you going? I'll be there.

I might come if you guys are going. I'd like to meet you two and there's no homo-erotic undercurrent here. I think.

Karol, I want your arse.

Like we didn't all knew that!

[Jim 6,258]

Should have known that talk of mens arses would bring you out of the woodwork!

[Omen II 1,298]

Are you going?

It's unlikely that I will be able to, Quint - but never say never. Perhaps if I wasn't already spoiled with so much live Williams fare closer to home this year!

If you and / or Karol do go, Richard Kaufman is the ideal conductor. He is a champion of Golden Age film music and a good pal of John Williams, having played the violin on a few of his soundtracks, including Jaws. It will be interesting to see the exact programme.

[Jim 6,258]

Sounds great, I must say. And thanks for the heads up. Might see you there

Will depend a lot on what happens to my job over the next few months, but for the time being - count me in too.

So, did anyone here go to this concert in the end? "PHOENIX' posted a copy of a letter from JW so I am guessing that he may have been there (http://www.jwfan.com...showtopic=22242).

It would be interesting to read what selections were played.
